The Wild Medicine SolutionHealing with Aromatic, Bitter, and Tonic Plants

Guido Masé

This book does a nice job putting the many herbs used for health into a simple framework. American herbalist Guido Masé divides herbs into three broad groups -- aromatics, bitters and tonics -- and shows how it is possible to begin “using plants mindfully in daily life, based both on thousands of years of safe use and... on modern understanding.” Aromatics, tonics, yes, but bitter herbs you say? Yes! Bitter herbs like dandelion, burdock, wormwood, gentian and others, are important for good health, and living life without them is like a good diet without exercise.
